I'm 32 weeks pregnant and have 6 cm of amniotic fluid. i was told by my dr to monitor the baby's kicks at 12 per every 2 hours. if the kicks are light, will those kicks count to be normal for the baby?

Baby kicks: The severity of Kicks felt depends on the position of the baby. If the baby is floating & changing position kicks may be faint or strong in quality.

Yes: Best for your mental health to focus on having a good pregnancy and look for the positive signs- trying to make a quality judgement on the strength of a fetal kick will make you crazy. If you feel a fetal kick it counts
